mmm I've been putting off starting the comic, that's a big commitment but I guess I could pick up a trade every now and then.

I like that they've elected to distance the cb and show so that each is it's own thing. Young fat me would have hated anything that wasn't an exact replica of what he'd already consumed but these days I find myself welcoming differences in adaptations more and more.

I don't know what it is about season 4 but for me ( for some reason ) I was much more jazzed during season 3. It must be because before season 3 started, I had just recently binged through seasons one and two on netflix. season three began like a couple of weeks later with Seed and i was completely infatuated with all of season 3. I found myself hunting down synopsis and any other spoilers i could get my hands on. Even when I went to bed at night I would have dreams almost every night that I was in the walking dead world trying to survive the zombie apocalypses. I think I may have worn or burned myself out on the Walking Dead because i'm not finding it as tense as i did in season 3. Which is funny because Andrea was the worst character in 4 seasons yet I still couldn't wait for the next episodes to come.

Wow, they're really not giving anything away from the second half. Not much is known about it compared to the first half.

Security has been tightened big time. A lot of forums during season 3 put everything together. Detailed summaries and pictures were always leaking. I think the only episode that everyone went into blind was Welcome to the Tombs.

One-armed, no-legged teenager Nick Santonastasso loves the Walking Dead. He's also made a name for himself on the internet pulling zombie pranks on unsuspecting victims. So it made sense for Walking Dead producers to fly him to Tokyo—where the cast and crew was gathered for a press junket—so he could pull an excellent prank on Norman Reedus, aka Daryl Dixon on the show.
With the help of the show's award-winning makeup team and star Andrew Lincoln, he pulls it off. Even better: the stunt was part of an on-going campaign to get Santonastasso a role on the show.

ANDREW LINCOLN: I’m really excited about the back 8 episodes. I think there’s a different tone to the back 8, and I think you’re going to see a lot of characters that you haven’t seen under the microscope as much all have their chance to shine. And people are putting in some tremendous performances. I think there were three scripts that were some of my favorite that I’ve ever done in the back 8. But it’s different, and that’s what’s so admirable about it with Scott Gimple’s vision. It’s a very different tone for the show and I think you learn a lot. It’s very character driven, very soulful — much more reminiscent of the first season, I think, just because they’re all out and alone and they’re much more vulnerable. And also because they’re apart from each other you realize that without each other their family is dying. It’s almost like vignettes; it’s like character studies in all of the characters. The underpinning of all of this is the great hope they can find each other again.
